East Peoria sex offender faces child pornography charges

EUREKA — A registered sex offender faces new charges for exposing himself to a child and possessing child pornography.

Scott Mohr, 49, of 106 Cherry Lane in East Peoria faces up to 15 years in lieu of indictment on four felony charges of child pornography.

Mohr was also indicted last week in a separate case on sexual exploitation of a child, for allegedly exposing himself to a 9-year-old girl on multiple occasions, a charge that could cost him three years in prison.

Mohr, a truck driver, is being held on $750,000 bond at the Woodford County Jail.

He was previously convicted of aggravated criminal sex abuse in McLean County in connection with a 1992 case.
